When chopping up the hard boiled eggs, I was shocked to find this one that is pure white through out! I put a piece of regular, yellow yolk next to it here in the picture so you can see the difference. From what I've read, and there's not much on this, is that it has to do with the hen's diet. Well, this is a factory farm egg, albeit "organic" and "free range", and fed a vegetarian diet...every other hen is fed the same thing. It's odd that in a carton of a dozen random eggs, there's one that is so different. The egg itself didn't seem to be "bad", but I didn't put it into the salad anyway. My own hens have NEVER laid pure white eggs. Anyone have any ideas?
